Pair of Large Terracotta Anduze-Style Urns with Swag & Medallion Design
A fine pair of large Anduze-style terracotta garden urns, inspired by the traditional pottery of Anduze in southern France. Originating in the 18th century, these iconic forms were modeled after Italian Medici vases and became prized features in French gardens and orangeries.
Each urn features a wide flared rim, gently tapered bell-shaped body, and pedestal base. Decorative relief detailing includes raised floral swags connecting circular medallions, with horizontal ribbing encircling the lower body. Crafted from natural unglazed terracotta, they display a warm earthen hue and subtle weathering from outdoor use. At approximately 20.5″ high × 19.5″ diameter and weighing about 60 lbs each, they make a substantial and elegant statement for garden, patio, or entryway settings.
Condition:
Good overall, with light surface wear, weathering, and minor marks consistent with age and outdoor exposure. No chips or cracks observed.
Dimensions:
- Overall: 20.5″ high × 19.5″ diameter
- Weight: ~60 lbs each
